test anything new / repaired before adding back in to the live environment (confirm during setup and rehearsal)

download, edit, and update the podcast site

  • our mixer (LS9) records the FOH output directly to a USB stick as an mp3 (as a backup, we use the tascam recorder to just record the message in case something happens with the USB stick ... this file is also an mp3)
  • after service the sound lead uploads the mp3 file to the cloud (we use box, but any cloud storage service would work)
  • using audacity, edit the mp3
    • snip out just the message (which is typically captured at a much lower level than the music)
    • normalize the audio level
    • add a fade in/out at the ends
  • publish using thechurchapp / subsplash https://dashboard.thechurchapp.org/
    • an account is required to manage content (Bryan Lange, Jeff Boettler), Jim & [email protected] are admins, Sondra is an admin and billing manager
    • subsplash stores and hosts the content and provides an embed that we use on our website
    • subsplash also provides capability to link the content into apple's podcast connect
  • new challenges w/covid-19 ... figuring out how to post video
